Woot! I brought up OpenOffice! Took slightly less than forever, but it worked! I created a test document, with multiple fonts and an inserted graphic, and i had OpenOffice rescale it. Text wrap around the graphic. Way cool.

I'm in Iceweasel typing this.

I have an igo bt keyboard for my n800. Works as usual.

To get localtime copied, i went to OS2008 xterm, copied /etc/localtime to /tmp,
brought up a text window in Debian, ran su, which let me be root, and coped /tmp/localtime to /etc. These two don't see the same /etc, but do see a common /tmp. Maybe these instructions were on something other than the first page... But anyway, the displayed time jumped to correct time right away. I should mention that /debian did not show up in OS2008. No idea why not.
